The Right Side of the News

All absolutely astute observations, Percy. Its not just what a pandemic does physically its what kind of break down to the entire system it causes in the fallout. The economic impact is so far-reaching and pervasive.This should be the world's wake up call as to the power of preparedness. We should consider this a dry run for a truly horrific pandemic. Keeping things into perspective, this is pretty mild when compared to some of the nastier strains of viruses in existence that are presently dormant and suppressed. Had something like a terrible hemorrhagic fever like Ebola been released worldwide, it would be by orders of magnitude worse than this. Thankfully we were able to stop that one dead in its tracks, but this should really highlight our vulnerability and there is nothing to say that it or something far worse can't come down the pipeline.Its been a cascading effect, spilling into every sector of our lives.Every nation on Earth needs to learn from the mistakes that we've already made.

I will agree that calling it the China virus is not de facto racist. There was a previous disease causing an epidemic in the Middle Eastern region known as "MERS" an acronym for Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome. This term was basically created by epidemiologists. Are they "racist" against Middle Easterns or were they referencing the area that the disease is known to have originated?I obviously agree that leftist's media is making a big deal about Trump's using the term "China Virus." That's really much ado about nothing from people who are incentivized to cast aspersions against him whenever possible.Having said that, I'm not sure anyone else used the phrase prior to him. If you have any evidence of that then we can clearly say a bias exists.

The Christians who think that God will spare them from bad things because of their unshakable faith is clearly delusional. Go look at how Peter died. Go look at how Paul died and all the inflictions he endured. Oh, go look at how Jesus died.There are plenty of Christians who die from cancer, heart disease, lung disease, plenty who die in car accidents, plenty who burn to death in fires, from falls, from gunshots, from stabbings, oh, and plenty from infectious diseases.This notion that you should flout common sense and good judgment just because you believe in God is absurd. Jump off a fucking bridge right now if you're so convinced that your faith will save you. Or are you too much of a pussy?What a prick.
